Nana Jean's Celery-Honey-Agave Dressing

This is my beloved grandmother Jean's original recipe which I have made a few adjustments to. Bless her cottonsocks, she was a wonderful cook and a proper Southern hostess with the mostest! I love how this recipe reminds me of her as well as cozy North Carolina summers... and being Very Well taken care of!

I personally swap out the honey and use agave syrup because I believe in minimizing human interference with the bee kingdom. I love honey and it tastes amazing in this recipe so if you are a honeybunny, definitely use it and enjoy! If however, you wish keep it super-vegany, just replace the honey with agave or other sweetener and you are good to go! It still tastes delightfully savory, sweet and tangy on a wide variety of fruit and vegetable dishes.

Combine all ingredients in blender, except celery salt, onion and oil. Blend, slowly adding oil. Stir in celery salt and onion last. You can also use a whisk and a bowl to keep it simple. Pour over a variety of fresh or cooked fruits or vegetables and enjoy! This recipe makes quite a lot, so is excellent for picnics.

A few of my favorite serving ideas:

*Use dressing for all varieties of mixed green salads, it's nice with herb and spinach salads, especially with dill and sliced celery.

*I love to jazz up my Cool & Crunchy Cleansing Salad recipe by using this dressing instead of the lemon and orange juices (see recipe post for full details.) It takes this salad from minimalist to pop-of-pizazz in seconds!

Vote no 5. Sounds great and very versatile. I think I could also make it with ingredients that I already have in the kitchen, as I mostly keep all these condiments in anyway. I use agave syrup as well, discovered it quite recently, and I love it, just as good as honey.
